Llanarth Football Club (formerly Glascoed FC) is a Welsh association football team based in Llanarth, Monmouthshire. Founded in 2024, the club plays its home matches at Llanarth Village Hall and competes in the Gwent Central League Division One.
History
A Glascoed FC team played in the Usk and District League in 1922 and 1923.[1][2]
Glascoed FC 2024–25
Glascoed FC was formed in the summer of 2024 by players and community members from the Torfaen area. From the outset, Glascoed emphasised grassroots development and community engagement, launching a crowdfunding campaign that raised £1,715 to purchase a Veo 3 camera to support match analysis and produce highlights for the local community.[3][4]
Glascoed competed in the Gwent Central League Division Two during their inaugural 2024–25 campaign.
The club achieved a league and cup double in its first season.
On 14 November 2024, the club secured a 3–2 Benevolent Cup quarter-final victory against Mardy 2nds, in a match covered by the Abergavenny Chronicle and the Forest of Dean & Wye Valley Review.[5][6]
On 3 May 2025, Glascoed won the Benevolent Cup final, defeating Clydach Wasps 1–0. The victory was reported by the Abergavenny Chronicle.[7]
During the league season, the team achieved notable results including a 7–0 win over Usk 2nds, featured in the Monmouthshire Beacon.[8]
Fixtures and standings were tracked through official portals such as All Wales Sport.[9]

From 1 July 2026, the club adopted the name Llanarth FC, beginning a new chapter in its history.[12]
The name change followed two seasons of football under the Glascoed FC name and marked the club's move into a new identity representing Llanarth and the surrounding community.
Llanarth FC competes in the Gwent Central League Division One during the 2026–27 season.
The club retained its place in Division One following Glascoed's fifth-place finish during the 2025–26 season.
